Aside other fulfillment that come with running a business, a business owner is highly skilled and knowledgeable people with vast experience.

Entrepreneurship gives you the opportunity to impart in yourself and others resulting in higher impact compared to working for others. Though we have more neighbours leaving for work in the morning than successful business men/women going out to run their businesses, this has resulted in few or absence of role models in neighbourhoods around the country to serve as source of inspiration to others. Although Nigerians have a few people around them to look up to for inspiration that will ignite their business drive but on a general note, Aliko Dangote’s business pedigree is enough inspiration for anyone interested in entrepreneurship as he has recorded great success locally and internationally with a high business network.

Here are a few reasons you should consider setting up your own business soon:

Building a dream – Most successful entrepreneurs around the world are living their dreams, their present situations were mostly mere visions in the past. Your business can become a big empire if more effort is channeled into building it.

Making an impact – Entrepreneurs are change makers and a great number of these people are providing solutions to problems around them.

Recognition -When your business becomes successful, you will be recognized as a change-maker or someone of value who went all out to be different.

Posterity – A business can be managed for a longer period of time with the right skills. You can also pass down your business to the next generation.

Income – Entrepreneurs can decide how much income they want to generate by being innovative, creative, smart, hardworking and determined. If you dream of living in big mansion, visiting exotic places and networking with successful people, setting up a business and growing it will help you realize those dreams.

Personal Growth And Development - Successful business owners also witness tremendous personal advancement in all ramifications. They learn and imbibe lots of values while meandering through the dark waters of entrepreneurship. Most times, these entrepreneurs come out as champions in the end.

Improving Their Environment : Their social and economic environments become a lot better because of their activities.Their deeds are not easily forgotten. Who says entrepreneurship is not a better option ? And who else is afraid of becoming an entrepreneur?

Females can relate.

Well not everyone can/should be a boss. Some will have to be workers. This makes the society complete.
For example a certain Nigerian president is not a true leader even when he grew with the "born to rule mentality".

Nice write up though

This is the worst Admin ever on earth & in Hell. You failed 180Million people having made so much utopian promises only to start yet another propaganda in the eve of an election year? These folks are hopeless, hapless & sordidly Unfortunate. This is coming from an alleged Pastor

Nothing as good as being your own boss.

Nice writeup

No you don't need to drop out of school.

When I was in the University years back, I did several businesses part- time and still graduated in flying colours.

What if I'm studying the wrong course,
I have poor grades and I have a good startup idea?

start up capital is the main problem in this country, I have faith anyway thanks @op

Nothing beats being independent.

I did business while I was in the university. I had poor grades etc, but I'm happy now

So true

Unfortunately, ours is a job loving society

As a result, entrepreneurship can go an' die

But all hope is not lost

We will surely fire up the Nigerian entrepreneurship goals no matter what!

It is a promise

Job loving society!

So job loving to the point of thinking to create a job without a duty, need or a responsibility (Peace Corps comes to mind).

A huge percentage of youths are not adding value to the economy even in the slightest bit and then turn around to blame others for their own woes. Some even heap insults on Nigeria when, in fact, they are the failed individuals that populate the land.

Entrepreneurship holds the key to individual emancipation and by extension, national glory.

Entrepreneurs are emperors and empresses who create their own empires within the environment they find themselves!

My respect to all who own a business in Nigeria! E no easy!

I don't think there is anything like a wrong course. If you don't like the course your are doing and you have not passed year 2, you might try to get into another course.

Better still, you can just graduate in your current course and do your post graduate degree in your choice course.

But anyway, don't abandon your school because of business.
